"So, are we too late?"
He immediately noticed the energy fluctuations coming from the center of the fog. When Pei Wende arrived here, what he saw was a huge mansion shrouded in moonlight.
Just like the Guanghan Palace in myths and legends, the huge mansion shows luxury and coolness under the moonlight.
Just by looking at it from a distance, Pei Wende could feel a chilly air coming from his heart, making him feel as if he was in an extreme environment of a biting winter.
"It seems like it's a step too late."
Pei Wende, whose eyes were slightly narrowed, did not use his clairvoyance and could see the huge psychic circle clearly with his own spiritual sense.
Behind Pei Wende, Ah Da, who had turned into an invisible object, was also restless.
However, Ada's restlessness did not all come from the huge psychic circle, but also from the dispelled fog near the house.
For invisible beings like Ah Da, the fog shrouding the land is an extension of their bodies and wills.
Nowadays, the psychic circle near the house has dispelled the fog, which is equivalent to expelling those invisible things in disguise and limiting the possibility of their new house.
If Ada wanted to forcefully attack the house, he would most likely be dragged back into the fog, and he could only watch helplessly as the psychic ritual continued under his nose.
"Roar!"
Just as Pei Wende was about to step out of the fog and into the house, a roar suddenly came from the fog behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a three-meter-tall skeletal giant with a bone crown on its head suddenly rushed out of the fog and rushed towards Pei Wende not far away with a strong sense of oppression.
boom!
Between the lightning and flint, the twisted mist took the form of a four-armed skeletal giant, which collided with the skeletal giant with a bone crown on its head.
"Roar!"
Compared with Ah Da, who still retains his consciousness, Zhu Nu, who also transformed into a skeleton giant, obviously only has some instincts left.
Therefore, not only did she not recognize her husband, but because of Ada's obstruction, she let out a roaring roar that shook the sky.
boom! boom! boom!
A powerful and heavy attack, every time it explodes with a shocking impact.
Although the Bone Crown Giant is not as powerful and flexible as the Four-Armed Giant, it still has a solid physical presence.
The four-armed giant, which could only be manifested through the mist, was unable to withstand the opponent's impact.
Not to mention, the "mirage bead" on the bone crown giant's forehead also naturally restrains invisible objects, so that the four-armed giant can only fall into a passive situation of being beaten.
"Amitabha!"
He held the compound bow behind his back with his backhand, just when Pei Wende was about to help the four-armed giant.
The surrounding fog actually erupted with a force out of thin air, pushing Pei Wende directly out of the boundary of the fog and towards the mansion where the spiritual ritual was still being performed.
"Walk!"
A deafening roar resounded throughout the fog at this moment.
The originally calm mist suddenly went berserk. The invisible things that had been dormant for countless years all "resurrected", and an astonishing trend swept across the land.
Even though the Bone Crown Giant was the nemesis of invisible objects, when faced with the siege of massive invisible objects, he had to give up the idea of stopping Pei Wende from moving forward and fight with them.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"..."
Silently putting down the handle of the bow that he was holding tightly, Pei Wende knew that this was a sign that Ada was unwilling to let him take action.
Whether it is Zhu Nu's husband or the guardian of this mist, Ah Da will not allow Pei Wende, an "outsider", to harm the Bone Crown Giant.
The bone-crowned giant is now just relying on his instincts in life.
It was the only remaining maternal love in its heart that prompted it to hope that its son could leave this cursed fog.
Therefore, as long as Pei Wende can successfully prevent the spiritual ritual from proceeding, the Bone Crown Giant will naturally regain its calm until Zhao Mu steps into this fog again.
"It's a beautiful mother's love, but it's a pity it's used in the wrong direction."
Sighing softly, Pei Wende chose to believe Ada's choice, turned around and opened the door of the house.
Squeak...
Contrary to Pei Wende's expectation, he didn't even use any effort, and the closed door was slowly opened under the moonlight.
Then, Pei Wende saw a woman's figure standing at the end of the corridor, as if she had been waiting there for a long time.
"Well, it's a bit rude to come to your house without the owner's permission."
"But I think in this current situation, you won't mind my offense, right?"
After crossing the threshold, Pei Wende's eyes swept across the woman's figure, and finally stopped on the wall behind her that was covered with paintings.
Or a hunched old man, or a beast roaring up to the sky, or a woman crying sadly...
On that huge wall, lifelike paintings move automatically without wind. The characters and animals inside are like living creatures, constantly conveying their emotions to the outside world.
In those paintings, Pei Wende not only saw the old man who coughed up blood and died, the Zhu Nu who committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, but also a giant green-scaled python entrenched on the mountains.
Without any verbal communication or description, Pei Wende recognized the owner of the portrait at a glance - that was the green snake he had been looking for.
"Do you mind asking, where is the 'prototype' of the painting behind you now?"
Pointing at the big blue-scaled snake with calm eyes and a solemn expression, Pei Wende asked this question.
"As expected, he is worthy of being a guest invited by him. His courage alone surpasses those of ordinary people."
With a brimming smile on her lips, the woman slowly took a step forward, completely exposing her figure to the moonlight.
"Since you are already here, it is impossible not to know..."
"Every painting here is actually an obsession that was abandoned by the 'prototype'. Their true bodies are no longer here."
"As for where they have gone, perhaps only the real owner of this fog - the mirage - knows."
Keenly hearing the subtext in the woman's words, Pei Wende couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Are you saying that you are not actually the real owner of this mansion?"
She nodded affirmatively. The woman didn't care whether Pei Wende believed it or not. She just felt that the former young man might be able to end her "destiny".
"Yes, the 'being' who invited you out is the real owner of this house and this mist."
"And everyone living in this fog can only be regarded as a guest."
While here, the woman's tone paused for a moment before continuing.
"It's just that some people are just lodging in someone else's house, while others are just lodging in a magpie's nest."
